At New Age Group CEO's Office
Across town, Chibuzor stared out the window of his office, a rare nervousness creeping over him.
Meeting her family on Thursday?
I barely have enough time to prepare, to make a solid plan.
He sighed, running a hand over his face.
What do I buy?
Will they like me as their son in law?
What if they think I'm unworthy of Olaedo?
Wait...
He paused, realizing something strange.
Why am I so concerned about them liking me?
Isn't it enough that they accept the relationship?
This isn't even real!
Shaking off his thoughts, he summoned his secretary.
Moments later, a gentle knock preceded her entrance.
"You called for me, sir?"
"Yes," Chibuzor said, his tone steady despite his inner turmoil. "Clear my schedule on Thursday evening and prepare suitable gifts for a mother in law, three brothers in law, and a family friend."
